Horoscopes

Those with birthdays today: This year, allow yourself to break from convention and be willing to say less. Listen to others more often and be less assertive that you have the right answer. Your work and daily life could become more dynamic if you relax and don't push so hard. Be willing to invest in your well-being. If you are single, a relationship of major proportions could begin at any given moment. Be open to a different style. If you are attached, you come off far sterner than you realize, crushing your sweetie's free spirit. Let go and relax more. Your bond will grow as a result. SCORPIO can be demanding!

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

**** Confusion surrounds friends and intentions. Rather than hit your head against a brick wall, choose another direction. Resourcefulness adds to the quality of your day. Tonight: Someone gives you an earful.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

***** Others need to dominate. Letting go might not be easy, but it's instrumental in gaining success. If you think a boss is confusing, others cannot even believe what this person says! Tonight: At a local hangout.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

**** Possessiveness could mar a good situation. Your ability to work with others will change substantially if you say less. Being as prolific as you are with words often overwhelms others. Tonight: Just make it easy.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

***** Your solutions work even if you feel restricted. Turn a liability into a strength. If you are open to feedback, you might be delighted by what emerges. Creativity soars. Tonight: Add more spice to your life.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

**** Sometimes you are your own worst enemy - more so recently than in the past. Kiss anger and negativity goodbye, and much of a positive nature will wander in. A tendency to overthink things is a problem. Tonight: Happy at home.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

***** Speak your mind, but choose your words with an eye to not only expressing yourself but also affecting others. Wisdom and foresight easily put you in a position you like. Tonight: At a favorite haunt.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

**** Take a leap of faith, especially if you can satisfy your imagination. Quit being down on yourself. Take a break or a power nap if you're feeling overwhelmed. Tonight: Let your mind wander. Call an old friend.
